Reflection's Flora and Fauna
A collection of my photos of flora and fauna, and maybe now and then,
something else that catches my attention and just will not let go.
Maybe even with little verbage, which is pretty hard for this gal.

Flowers and Beach and Seagulls Too

.

Cedar Point Amusement Park has more than thrilling rides that go 120 MPH in 4 seconds flat and 300 feet in the air and 15 roller coasters, they have beach and flowers and sea gulls (those little white splotches on the beach).

Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)

.
Note, tentative identification.  I love purple, and, it hurts me to realize that this is considered an invasive plant here in Michigan, but, sighhh, so it is, that is, if I identified this correctly.  The flower looks different than the photos, so, hoping I got it wrong!  I have been told that this is an invasive plant tho, so, as usual, I am confused.

Hypoeste Phyllostachya

A small house plant I have, chosen mostly for the pattern of the leaves, as I did not know it bloomed.

SURPRISE!!


The bloom is about 1/2 inch long.
